Happy Thanksgiving!

We here at Shades of Gray hope everyone who is celebrating Thanksgiving--whether they are at home in the U.S. or away in another country--are together with family or friends and enjoying some good food!

The festivities here have derailed a bit. First, Joan Blondell crashed the plane carrying the after-dinner treats, then Leila Hyams decided to adopt the turkey we were going to butcher and cook. While we'll have lots of side dishes brought by guests, the main course will be a couple frozen lasagnas, fresh from the microwave.

(Actually, in all seriousness... we're going to have a nice Thanksgiving with plenty of good food. We may have to work, but we are thankful for our friends, our jobs, and all of you who visit this blog to check out the reviews and silliness!)

Secret History... Revealed!

 Before settling on The Bunny as the symbol for his adult entertainment franchise, Hugh Hefner considered The Turkey, along with the slogan "We're Thankful for the Birds!"

Wishes for Happy Thanksgivings!

We wish a Happy Thanksgiving with family and loved ones to all our American readers, wherever in the world they may be! Even if it has be done virtually for many of us.

Picture Perfect Wednesday: Thanksgiving Birds

Getting a turkey for the traditional American Thanksgiving dinner wasn't always as easy as Adele August makes it look.

The early settlers in the United States, the Pilgrims, had to struggle for food and survival. If left to their own devices, they might well have starved to death.

Fortunately, the Wampanoag Indian tribe came to the aid of the Pilgrims. In 1621, the two communities shared a Thanksgiving feast that started a tradition that continues nearly 400 years later.

On the fourth Thursday of November, Americans gather with friends and families to give thanks for the bountiful blessings in our lives and to admire great-looking birds.







I hope all my American readers have a pleasant and safe Thanksgiving dinner with friends and family tomorrow. The hope of a safe day goes double for the men and women in the military and law enforcement who put themselves on the line to protect the rest of us.

Happy Thanksgiving to Americans Everywhere!

Jean Arthur and Lillian Roth are out hunting down a turkey for you to enjoy!
